Lorelai: Thank God I'm graduating and it's the last time I cram like this. Because my pursuit of higher education has led me to an interesting discovery about myself. Do you wanna hear it?
Rory: Sure.
Lorelai: I despise academics.
Rory: Yep.
Lorelai: Learning, knowledge, it's all worthless. I have no idea what you see in it.
Rory: Learning is fun. Plus, for me, there's that I'm a minor, so it's mandatory thing.
Lorelai: That's what kills me. This is self-inflicted. I'm a masochist. I might as well be carrying a switch and periodically lacerating myself with it.
Rory: That diploma hanging on the wall is going to make this all worthwhile, trust me.
Lorelai: I guess. Unless I turn into John Nash and start drooling on people.
